Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Justice for All (fan dub)

Project Overview

What is this?

A fan dub of the beloved Ace Attorney game series- specifically the second installment! This particular project is going to be edited and framed in such a way to try and remove most, if not all, of the gameplay elements such as the UI in an attempt to make the experience less invasive and more "cinematic" in a sense.

For those of you unfamiliar with the premise: the Ace Attorney series follows the life and times of Phoenix Wright, a rookie defense lawyer, as he is introduced to a colorful cast of clients who need a legal champion to stand by them and exonerate them of crimes they did not commit. Wright must face off against the cunning, intelligent, and ruthless members of the prosecution, stand by the defendants in their darkest hour, and attempt to discover the truth behind each case that will set his clients free!


Requirements:

Since this is a paid project that I am funding out of my own pocket: a significant level of technical and performance quality is going to be expected. Please ensure that your microphone is capable of recording your performance without picking up overwhelming background noises or excessive peaking/clipping. Simultaneously many of these roles are for larger than life characters who tend to emote HEAVILY- as such most roles will probably involve shouting and even a bit of hamming it up/overacting in some capacity at some time or another so if you cannot commit to the needs of a given role please do not audition as I cannot expect to select someone who cannot give the performance a role requires.


Casting in Regards to Payment:

As I mentioned above- this project is going to be funded directly out of my pocket and as such the audition deadline has been set significantly down the road to better ensure my ability to pay everyone who is selected.

If you are cast I will not expect you to do any recording for me until you are appropriately compensated for your time. So even when auditions are over and every role is cast: I don't want you to do any recording until you are paid.

Payment is going to be on a per case/episode basis: you will be paid for each case your role appears in. The listed price is the price of which you will be paid for their first appearance, subsequent appearances may change depending on total line count for a given case.

After castings are complete, payments will be made as the funding becomes available- this method allows me to pay more to each role as I can garner some additional savings between each pay period at work during these times.

Role Significance:

Obviously leading roles are going to be paid the highest amount as they will be appearing most frequently and deserve to be accommodated accordingly, but certain "supporting" and "minor" characters have recurring appearances throughout the game, have an incredibly important impact on the events of the story, or simply have a significantly higher amount of dialogue in the fewer instances where they appear compared to other characters of similar "significance" (example: Adrian Andrews is only in the case "Farewell, My Turnabout", but she has an incredible amount of dialogue). As such the pay for such roles may vary from other characters in the same classification. This is not a mistake or oversight: each actor is being compensated according to the requirements that will be expected of them.

Payment:

Payments will be made on a per case/episode basis (i.e: when payments are made for "Reunion and Turnabout" payment for "Turnabout Big Top" will be sent some weeks later, and so on until payments for each case are complete.)

Payments will be sent exclusively through PayPal only- if you do not have a PayPal account do not expect to be paid as part of this project.

A few final notes:

1.) I'm a huge fan of this franchise and so are some of the previously cast individuals and as such we may be submitting our own auditions alongside all who wish to participate- I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO TRY AND IMITATE OUR PERFORMANCES. Each role will have the suggested guidance and ideal performance parameters I have in mind for each character, but the beauty of acting is taking the same premise or direction and presenting it with your own unique flair.

2.) Anything in this color down below is NOT to be read when you're auditioning for various parts- this text exists solely to give context to the lines you will be reading.

3.) Discord is not required, but it is recommended as we utilize it to organize group rehearsals, deliver announcements, and distribute scripts (it's also been an incredibly useful tool for getting to know the people affiliated with the project and we've had a fair bit of fun with it).


4.) PLEASE DO NOT SLATE YOUR AUDITIONS

And that's it- if more questions come up I may append an F.A.Q to this section to try and resolve any recurring questions for those reading through this project in the future.


Have fun and good luck!

Franziska von Karma
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 125 USD
Role assigned to: Nightfire

Franziska von Karma is the eighteen year-old daughter of prosecuting legend (and convicted murderer) Manfred von Karma who has a longstanding rivalry with his star protege Miles Edgeworth.

Like her father, Franziska is obsessed with the idea of "perfection" in all matters. Everything she does during the course of a legal proceeding is presented and rationalized with this perception of perfection that she has envisioned in her mind. Realistically this showcases itself as her utilizing underhanded and questionable tactics in the courtroom in pursuit of convictions at all costs- even going so far as to carry a whip to discourage naysayers and dissent amongst those attending the legal proceedings that she oversees.

But even when her methods are on the up-and-up: Franziska is no slouch. She has been described by others and herself as a prosecuting prodigy which is evidenced by the fact that she appears to have become a full-fledged prosecutor at the age of thirteen!

Franziska is confident, significantly arrogant, condescending, intelligent, calculating, and ruthless when she needs to be and these traits should shine through in droves when indicated.
(SIDE NOTE: Franziska has lived and done a significant amount of growing up in Germany which might lead some to think that she should have a German accent to some extent. You're welcome to try this if you'd like, but I personally am not entirely sold on the idea)

  • (Introducing herself)
    "I am Franziska von Karma, the Prodigy. I gave up a promising career in Germany and came to this country for one sole reason: revenge."

    (Firmly, threatening)
    "I'm talking. If you interrupt again, my whip will do the speaking for me. "

  • (She has gone to the airport and is about to leave the country feeling like a disgrace and failure. The only person in the world she may give the slightest damn about [even if she doesn't show it] stands before her, challenging her to better herself, but will not cater to her or dote on her- it's something she must do on her own)

    Edgeworth:
    "But I have no intention of stopping. If you say you are going to quit your walk down the prosecutor's path... Then, this is where we part ways, Franziska von Karma."

    (For the first time and only time, Franziska's icy exterior cracks and tears well up in the corner of her eyes. She fights to keep from losing her composure entirely, but she's barely succeeding)
    "... I... I... I am Franziska von Karma... Don't think I'm going to walk in your shadow forever... Our battle... begins now... so you had better prepare yourself, Miles Edgeworth!"

  • (Worried, a hole has been poked in her "perfect" theory)
    "Th-Th-That's preposterous! N-Nooooooo!"

    (Frustrated, angry, and repeatedly slamming her fist against her podium)
    "How. Can. This. Be!?"

    (Objecting in court)
    "OBJECTION!"

    (Interjecting)
    "HOLD IT!"

Pearl Fey
closed
Paid: Flat Rate 100 USD
Role assigned to: carimelle

Pearl is the younger cousin of Maya Fey and is an expert spirit medium despite her young age. Although she is a child, Pearl speaks with a clarity and vocabulary significantly beyond her years, but suffers from living an incredibly sheltered life which causes her not to know what a lot of simple things in life are such as bus tickets, trains, attorneys, etc.

While she is is smarter than the average eight year old and capable of learning things with admirable speed and competency, she suffers in artistic endeavors and doesn't quite grasp the intricacies of working relationships between men and women- almost always assuming it's in the interests of romantic pursuits which she is quick to chide people about.

Pearl should sound young, but reasonably well spoken. Completely ignorant in certain matters, but never dumb.

  • (Misinterpreting the relationship between Wright and Maya, enthusiastic)
    I know who you are. You're... You're Mystic Maya's... "special someone". Oh wow! It's like a beautiful fairy tale! That earnest look shining brightly in your eyes... It must be true love!

  • (Her cousin Maya, the biggest influence in her life, has been kidnapped and is being held hostage- Pearl has found out and burst into terrified tears)
    "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Mystic Maya! Mystic Mayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

  • (Angry, pulling up her sleeve)
    "And then, that snobby woman with the ruffly clothes. She had such a bad attitude! She acted like she had already decided that Mystic Maya did it! I am going to tell her what I think of her tomorrow!"

Adrian Andrews

Unpaid
Role assigned to: saiyanserenityv

Adrian Andrews appears to be the epitome of a successful young woman. She's goal oriented, direct and to-the-point, doesn't suffer fools,  and seems to have all of her ducks in a row at all times.

In reality: Andrews suffers from a crippling dependency complex in which a significant amount of her own self-worth, motivations, and goals are attributed to someone else. Without that other person she becomes incredibly unstable and in at least one instance attempted to commit suicide following their death.

Andrews should sound confident, professional, and certain in all that she says when her manger persona is up, but have a significantly more meek, reserved, desperate, and uncomfortably exposed manner of speaking when her vulnerabilities are revealed.

  • (Having deduced that Wright is Engarde's lawyer, direct and to-the-point)
    "You were just saying that he is your client. In a situation like this, the only person who would use such a word would be his lawyer. I am Adrian Andrews, Matt Engarde's manager. I hate to waste time, so let's get down to business."

  • (Direct, straightforward: about to testify before the court)
    "I am the manager of the defendant in this case, Mr. Matt Engarde. Before we begin, Your Honor, I have one request: I'm sure everyone in this room is wondering the same thing, and would love to find out more about my relationship with the victim. After all, it was the topic of a certain weekly "magazine" recently. Yes, I was seeing Mr. Corrida. I was also aware of the rivalry that existed between Matt and Juan... But this was a private matter between Juan and myself."

  • (Wright has done digging into her past and discovered her suicide attempt and a psychological profile attached to it describing Andrews's specific case. Having been cracked open and revealed, she feels exposed, self-concious, sad, and scared)
    "It's true. I am a woman who can only live in insecurity. I'm physically small, and I don't really have a lot of self-confidence. I've pushed against all that, though... I've tried to live strongly. I never wanted anyone to find out the truth... This one thing... It's the one thing I wanted to take with me to the grave... It was my secret. Mine and mine alone."

    (She has been accused by the hitman of being her client. She is scared, desperate, vulnerable, and alone before the court)
    "I... No... Mr. Wright! You... You know the truth! Tell them! Tell them the real story... Who the real killer is... Tell them! Please... Help me..."

Shelly de Killer

Paid: Flat Rate 75 USD
Role assigned to: ctwvoguy

CALLBACK INFORMATION:
The original casting call focused on and showcased de Killer's calm, rational, and firm disposition.

This time around I need to make sure whoever is selected can hit some of de Killer's other deliveries.


[Bear in mind this franchise is known for humor so one of these may seem weird compared to lines previously provided] 

A professional assassin with a strict code of conduct that he expects his client and himself to adhere to following during the course of their business together.

Shelly de Killer is known around the world for ruthless efficiency and always leaving a literal calling card with the image of a conch shell on it. It is his hope that with a clear indication of who performed a hit that his clients can hope to escape suspicion- or at the very least be far enough removed from the hit that it becomes difficult or even impossible to implicate them legally.

I imagine that de Killer has a very posh and debonair delivery to his words as he's a man of (surprisingly) high standards and while it's not clear exactly how old he is: his appearance indicates being sufficiently far in age.

  • (Testifying to the court through a radio transceiver. He is actively providing false testimony to get his real client acquitted and Adrian Andrews convicted in his place. Very obviously annoyed)
    "You legal people and your "procedures". Is it any wonder no one likes to go to court? As I have already stated, quite a few times; Adrian Andrews is my client!"

  • (Wright is proving one of de Killer's critical testimonies false- he claimed that his alleged client, Adrian Andrews, was a man)
    Wright: "If you had ever met Adrian Andrews in person: one look would have told you that she is a woman!"

    (Pained and shocked exclamation!)
    "Ohoooooo!"

  • Edgeworth:
    "But what if that traitor was your own client? What would you do then!?"

    (Angry. He was deceived by his client and a subdued rage has begun to stir within him. It may not be INCREDIBLY obvious, but he is furious!)
    "... That's obvious. I would break our contract in that case. And then... That client would become my next target. For the honor of the De Killer name, even if it takes an eternity... I would follow that person to the ends of the earth to exact my punishment."

Matt Engarde

Paid: Flat Rate 75 USD
Role assigned to: EDCM

At a glance Matt Engarde ("On-Guard") is your stereotypical big-name young superstar: a little slow and disassociated from the reality of a given situation with an inflated sense of self-worth and a modicum of decency on display at all times.

In reality: Matt Engarde is a malicious two-faced snake of a man who only thinks of himself and presenting himself in the most positive light possible. He is motivated by the presentation of his "refreshing as a spring breeze" image to the masses and will take any shortcut to additional success and fame regardless of the people he steps on and hurts along the way. He does his best to maintain an aura of innocence during a murder case in which he stands accused, but it is eventually discovered that while he did not commit the murder; he did hire the assassin who killed one of his biggest rivals forcing his attorney to evaluate the choices and decisions he makes in his line of work.

When playing the part of an innocent young man I imagine Engarde sounds like a stereotypical California surfer dude of sorts, but once the facade drops he becomes a significantly more menacing and shockingly refined individual.

  • (Seemingly completely earnest, sincere)
    "Alright. Just so we're clear, dude, I didn't kill anyone, and that includes Juan Corrida, OK? The trial's tomorrow, right? I'm counting on you, dude."

  • (Pleading)
    "Please, Mr. Lawyer! Dude, like I said yesterday... I'm "refreshing like a spring breeze", alright? I can't let any sort of scandal ruin that."

  • (His deception and actions have been figured out, if he's acquitted at this point- the assassin he hired will hunt him down and kill him. There is nothing else he can do except live with a guilty verdict)

    (Looking around anxiously. Sweating)
    "M-Me!? My wonderful self...!? G-Guilty!? ..."
    (Breaking down, screaming and scratching his face up in panic)
    "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Guiltyyyyyyy! Guuuuuilty! G-Guuiiillltyyyy! GGGUUUILLLTYYY! GUILTY! GuiLTy! guIIIltYY! Guil-guilty! guilty! GUilTY! GUILTY!"

Morgan Fey

Unpaid
Role assigned to: MargaretAshley

Morgan Fey is the head of the Kurain Village branch family- which is to say that she's the second in charge of the village. However, even in the absence of the village master, Misty Fey, Morgan Fey can never be the head of the village due to the fact that she has considerably weaker spiritual power than that of the main family of Kurain. Even compared to Misty Fey's youngest daughter, Morgan's spiritual power is lacking and it is doubtful that she can even channel spirits at all.

With this in mind Morgan Fey has seemingly dedicated her life to try and instate her young daughter Pearl as the master which entails soiling the name of the only main family member still residing in Kurain: Maya Fey and then waiting until Misty Fey is declared dead through absentia in accordance to village doctrine. She has no issues agreeing to work with a killer to get what she wants and setting her niece up to take the fall for a murder she didn't commit.

Morgan is an older woman who even at her most polite seems to be talking down at people. She's firm, rigid, cold, and utterly lacking in humor.

  • (Firm, harsh)
    "Is that so? Then I humbly request that you return to this "Heart of the Heartland". This is Kurain* Village. If you can not follow our traditions and rules, we request that you leave!"
    (*KOO-RYE-IN)

  • (Loud, firm, insisting, and intimidating)
    "Step away from there! Please leave this area to me. Go quickly and inform the police!"

    (Explaining her station)
    "For a member of the branch family, no matter her spiritual power, she can never become the Master of the Kurain School however I will admit. I can not even begin to compare the lowliness of my power to the Master's."

  • (Has been arrested and placed in Solitary Confinement. Dark, ominous, threateningly to herself)
    "...My... precious Pearl... You are the only one suitable to be the Master of Kurain, dear child. I sacrificed it all... All for you... I helped that brainless nurse carry out her murder, and cooperated with that whip-happy prosecutor... It was all to unseat that annoying, witless main family girl... That Maya Fey. ...But I shall be patient, my dearest Pearl... A chance will present itself... Your time will come..."

Ini/Mimi Miney
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: TheDawnCatcher

Mimi Miney was a nurse at the Grey Surgery Clinic who was on duty when an unfortunate accident caused the death of fourteen patients. Hounded relentlessly by media in the wake of the incident, Miney would eventually be greatly fatigued one night while driving home with her sister and get into an accident that would engulf their vehicle in flame.

Mimi would escape the blaze with significant burns all over her body and face. It was at this time she started claiming to be her sister Ini- who had actually perished in the accident and even used a photo of her deceased sister as a blueprint for surgeons to reconstruct her face. This decision actually served her purposes well as everyone believed the killer nurse was now dead and suspicion turned on her former employer in the wake of what was thought to be her sudden demise.

Under the guise of Ini she pretends to be an absent minded airhead who seems incapable of competent or sensical thought processes. However her original personality tends to shine through on occasions where she gets frustrated or scared and a significant vindictive quality comes out of her- I'm looking for someone who can capture those distinctive qualities well.

  • (She has just been informed that a murder has occurred)
    "Um, so, like... A murder is that thing where, like, one person kills another, right?"

  • (She was just trying to burn evidence, but was interrupted and is trying to play ignorant)
    "L-Like, huh? Oh! Like you mean... Like, I'm just totally happy and like, totally excited to be here."

    (Recalling the car accident where her sister died and she was greatly injured)
    "Yeah... I was riding... in that car... with my sister. We were... like, on our way home... I was riding in the passenger seat when I fell asleep… and then, it happened. At the time, I grabbed for my purse, and escaped from the passenger-side door. "

  • (Stressed, trying to think quickly)
    "Ummm! Umm!"
    Judge: "...Ms. Miney?"
    (Snapping loud and viciously) "I'M THINKING, DON'T INTERRUPT ME, GRAMPS!"

    (She's been identified as Mimi Miney and there's no evidence that will allow her to continue to hide and all she can bring herself to do is scream in terror)

Paid: Flat Rate 75 USD
Role assigned to: Poppletron

"Acro" and his brother "Bat" were a team of professional acrobats who regularly performed death-defying stunts for the audiences of the Berry Big Circus. However, due to an incident with one of the lions that the circus used for its performances: his brother Bat was significantly injured and became comatose while Acro himself was implied to also be injured by the lion in a way that now prevents him from being able to walk.

On the outside Acro is kind and respectable to everyone he interacts with, but there is a darker side to him that is stern, reserved, and quiet: even under extreme duress.

I have no specific tonal or vocal quality in mind for Acro: merely that his voice should be clear, calm, and understandable.

  • (Pleasant, upbeat- introducing himself)
    "Pleased to meet you. I'm Ken Dingling, but here at the circus everyone just calls me Acro."

  • (Explaining why he couldn't look down and out of the window to his room-upbeat/confident)
    "That would have been quite difficult considering the state that I'm in. Just looking outside of the window was a tough enough challenge for me."

  • (He has been convicted of murder and the circumstances surrounding his actions lead some to paint him as a victim of circumstance. He disagrees.)

    (Dejected, leaning back in his wheelchair as tears start to silently run down his face. Sad, broken, completely sincere.)
    "No... That's not what I mean. I'm nothing but a murderer. That's who I am... At first, I thought I'd kill myself. Then I pondered giving myself up... (To the police) But... I couldn't just up and leave... I just couldn't... That's why... I tried... to pin this... on Max... Max... I'm so sorry...! I just... I just... I couldn't just up and leave yet... "

Role assigned to: Kieran Regan

Max Galactica is one of the world's most renowned solo magicians who brings incredible style and pizazz to his performances.

Seemingly suave, debonair, and flamboyant- "Max Galactica" was actually born "Billy Bob Johns" and once or twice during his interactions with the Wright & Co. Law Offices- his stage entertainer persona disappears and a desperate terrified back-woods country boy breaks out in panic.

I imagine Max speaking very flamboyantly (ala Zhang He from "Dynasty Warriors") except during the one or two instances where his stage persona fades away and his country bumpkin roots are exposed.

  • (Naming the card that Maya took from a deck of cards)
    "Uh-huh. I thought you would pick that one sweetie. The ace of hearts! What can I say sweetie... You've stolen one of my most valued possessions. One of Maximillion Galactica's hearts!"

  • (Unaware that he has legitimately been arrested and suddenly realizing it's true)
    "Oh, don't be ignorant. They wouldn't arrest someone like me because I'm the fabulous Maximillion Galactica! I'm the very big star of the Berry Big Circus: I'm rich! I'm paid fabulous sums! ... Quit joking around! You've got to be pulling my magic wand! The police aren't really serious about all this, are they?"

  • (About to call Wright "porcupine head", his stage persona dropping rapidly and becoming a deep southern/country bumpkin accent- desperate)
    "Porcu... I mean, Sir. You're a lawyer, right? ... (persona drops, panicked) Please! Help me! I didn't kill nobody! I may be more spoiled than a hog in a hamburger mud pit, but a killer!? That's insane... I... I... I could never-! I swear! I just wanted to pay off my daddy's debt... he's back on the farm..."

Role assigned to: hypervoiceacting

Lawrence Curls never really did mature emotionally. He loves to listen to and deliver lame jokes and finds them utterly hilarious whether he said them or someone else did. He seems to have an awareness of what kind of response is warranted for any given situation, but has a desire to cut up and try to be funny- only for it to fail and leave him standing in the center of complete awkward silence.

Moe should sound like a typical "silly clown", except when he's forced to be serious and face the seriousness of given situations at which point he should sound like a bitter middle manager who is tired and hates everything.

  • "How'd you know I put a whoopee cushion on the chair!? You really know what it takes to be a clown, don't you? Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha!"

  • (To the tune of "the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)

Role assigned to: Bpjenkin123088

Quiet and mild mannered Benjamin Woodman cannot function without his dummy. When alone he can hardly get out anything he wants to say without stammering and fidgeting constantly, but when reunited with Trilo he at least seems capable of saying what he intends to say without delay. When handling his puppet "Trilo Quist" (as in "ventriloquist"), however, he utilizes the little dummy to spout all sorts of nonsense and significantly more aggressive and confrontational language.

I imagine Ben is stutter-y, soft spoken, and reserved while Trilo is shrill, loud, obnoxious, overly emotional, and confrontational.

  • (Is mistakenly identified as a carny, Ben doesn't have Trilo to hand so he's nervous and unable to communicate effectively, stuttering severely)
    "Not a c-c-carny... I-I'm a p-performer. Actually, I'm a v-v-v-ventriloquist. I-I-I'm Benjamin Wo-Wo-Wo-Woodman, but e-everyone c-c-calls me B-B-B-B-B-Ben."

    (Being hit by Franziska's whip)
    "PAIN!"

  • (As the puppet "Trilo", aggressive and rude)
    "That is Mr. Quist to you, sir! Learn some manners before you just blurt out my name! Now try speaking to me again, but this time with some proper respect!"

    (As Trilo, optimistic and eager)
    "See! See! Even they are surprised by the idea! I told you!"
    (As Ben)
    "They're not the only ones! You even surprised me with your idea!"

This weird, fidgety, old man appears to stalk young women he finds attractive whenever they're brought into the clinic for whatever reason and learns a significant amount about them and their lives.

I don't exactly know what I'm looking for with this character as I personally don't care for him: I imagine he should sound dim-witted, slow, and creepy- and that's just about the best direction I can provide at present.

  • "Hmm, yes? Uh, huh? I'm Director Hotti. Hoh, hoh. "

Regina Berry is the young and completely naive animal tamer. The only existence she's known is the circus and even then it's been an incredibly sheltered existence as she doesn't understand the ramifications of death or severe injuries like that of the young comatose acrobat Sean "Bat" Dingling.

Regina should sound young, spunky, energetic, and perpetually amused. She lacks a real emotional depth or understanding of the events taking place around her and it makes her seem blissfully ignorant of the serious events unfolding around her.

Role assigned to: sunwukong

Phoenix Wright is the titular character of the Ace Attorney franchise: he is a young lawyer who is easily jarred when things tend to get rocky, but can ultimately buckle down, think things through to their logical conclusion, and stand his ground when his clients need him to do so. He has striven to be a lawyer since he was a child and aims to stand by those who have no one else in their corner and aspires to help them as best he can.


He is very much the "straight man" of the Ace Attorney universe who reacts to the absurdity of the situations around him with the most accurate responses. I'm looking for someone with a clear and pronounced voice capable of speaking loudly and confidently showing the ability to stand firm in the face of adversity while simultaneously having an inner monologue that may sound nearer to breaking down into a panic.


Please read the direction on each line/section carefully- the instructions there are meant to help me hear how you handle these particular inflections as they come up several times in Wright's lines. I need to hear how he thinks inside his own head, how he reacts to embarrassment/shock, how he intimidates and mocks witnesses with baiting statements, and how he uses his voice to take command of a given moment. This is THE titular character: show me what you can do with him!


Please read at least one line from the first two boxes and all of the lines in the third box. You may read every line in every box if you wish to, but it isn't required.

  • (Thinking to himself)"No one is as sad as a person without any friends. I know... I've been there. A long time ago. Why did I become a lawyer in the first place...? Because someone has to look out for the people who have no one on their side."


    (Looking at the bookshelf behind his desk and thinking to himself)"Difficult-looking legal books stand in a formidable row. They mock me. I tried reading one, and it made my head hurt. When I closed it, it slipped out of my hand. (slightly embarrassed at the memory) Then my foot hurt too."

  • (Pressing hard on a shady witness, mocking)"Miss May, I think it's high time you went shopping for a better excuse...? (Brief silence, mocking more strongly) Oh? Excuses not on sale today?"


    (Loudly drawing everyone's attention to the witness's obvious irritability upon questioning)"Your Honor, look at the witness's face! Does she seem amused to you!?"

  • These are some of Wright's most signature phrases- deliver them with the intensity they require
    (Presenting decisive evidence to the court)"TAKE THAT!"


    (Interrupting a witness)"HOLD IT!"


    (Presenting evidence that contradicts a witness statement)"OBJECTION!"

Miles Edgeworth

Role assigned to: Razi the Red-RW Estep

VIDEO UPDATE AND REFERENCE

Miles Edgeworth is a cold and calculating court prosecutor who makes it his personal mission to ensure every defendant he indicts is found guilty during a trial. While he would never go so far as to falsify evidence he is not above using under-handed tactics to bait his opposition into looking foolish by allowing them to follow a line of thought (that he has already considered or examined) and soundly snapping it shut around them like a visceral trap.


As time goes on he is forced into circumstances that cause him re-evaluate his position as a prosecutor and his personal "mission" in the courtroom. He gradually comes to warm up to others considerably, but not so much that he loses what could only be described as a "detached" personality.


Like most interpretations of Edgeworth: I perceive him as having a slight English accent (not to the extent of sounding overly "posh"- just a tendency to pronounce vowels more muted/flatly) as well as a calm and calculated delivery on most of his lines that give him a slight air of sophistication, harsh indifference, and mild smugness.

  • (Slightly irritated and attempting to take the wind of Wright's sails- firm and cold)"Amateurs, amateurs. Listen to me, Mr. Wright. In the courtroom, proof is everything. Without it, you have nothing. You ARE nothing."


    "The guilty will always lie, to avoid being found out. There's no way to tell who is guilty and who is innocent! All that I can hope to do is get every defendant declared "guilty"! So I make that my policy."

  • "OBJECTION!"
    (Silence- he says nothing more)Judge: "Yes, Mr. Edgeworth?""I was hoping to come up with a question while I was objecting, Your Honor... I didn't."Judge: "I see... Very well.""OBJECTION! Your Honor! I request that the witness testify again!"
    Vasquez: "You are the prosecutor, are you not? Why are you badgering me? I'm your witness!"
    "I... I just want to hear your testimony again."Vasquez: "Does this make any sense to you, Your Honor? I don't see that we have anything to gain by repeating the last several minutes."
    Judge: "Mr. Edgeworth... I, too, see little point in making Ms. Vasquez repeat herself. What exactly did you want her to testify about?"
    (Trying to think of something quickly- a rare instance of not being prepared)
    "Mmmph! Well, yes, um... Indeed! Verily, I say... Ergo! I want to hear about what happened... after they found the body!"

  • "Will the witness declare her name?"
    (The witness makes an irrelevant comment)
    "... Y-your name, please."
    (The witness makes more irrelevant commentary and appears to be smitten with Edgeworth who is having none of it- he ultimately ends up slamming his hand on his desk and cutting them off harshly)
    "YOUR NAME, PLEASE!"
    (The witness answers, but goes on to discuss more irrelevant topics)
    "OBJECTION! O-objection! I... object to the witness's talkativeness!"

Role assigned to: CaitlinDiVA

Maya is a young and inexperienced spirit medium who tends to leap before she looks. She frequently leaves Phoenix confused when her emotional state and leaps of logic jump astronomically out of proportion at an incredibly rapid pace. Despite having a significant unfamiliarity with the world outside of her home village she rapidly adjusts and arguably becomes more knowledgeable on practical or popular matters of society than Wright himself.


At seventeen years old Maya is notably younger than the likes of Phoenix and her sister Mia, but is old enough to not sound like a child. There's a certain balance to be found in not making her sound too young, but not sounding too mature either. Direction wise Maya is easily excitable and frequently overreacts to the most basic things she may see or hear: bring lots of energy with you, but don't go too fast.

  • (Excited)"She means the office! This office! Someone has to help with the new Wright & Co. Law Offices, right? And who better but me! Maya Fey, reporting for duty! Wait, no, on second thought, let's make this casual! Yo, Nick! Maya here, ready to get down to business! You... don't mind me calling you "Nick," do you? It's a great name! Mia said that's what your friend Larry calls you. You know what this means? We're partners!"

Although he tends to be on the receiving end of his superiors' ire, is constantly belittled to his own face, and endures constant testimonial tear down in court: he manages to maintain a cheerful and positive disposition and will gladly throw himself at a problem in an attempt to help others.


Detective Gumshoe should sound like a big guy and stereotypical New York area detective who tends to speak louder and with more energy than any given situation warrants.

  • (Standing up for Edgeworth during the events of "Turnabout Goodbyes"- significantly more somber and calm than he usually is)"See, Mr. Edgeworth always gets his defendants declared "guilty" every time. Yeah, his methods might be a little extreme at times. But... there's a reason! He trusts our investigation, see? He trusts us to get the right man! That's why I work extra hard, pal. We've got to earn that trust he places in us. Mr. Edgeworth is a man you can trust... And you have my word on that!"

Role assigned to: thezackattack

The Judge is an elderly man who has spent many years overseeing and moderating the cases that have come to his courtroom. While he is prone to frequent emotional outbursts, often seems confused, is fairly easily swayed one way or another, and frequently says something that makes him look silly- he is an honorable and wise individual who treats every pressing legal matter or concern with the due diligence it deserves and hears out each and every argument until it can go no further.


To me the Judge's voice would be close to the stereotypical "old man voice" which would lend a humorous edge to his ridiculous misunderstandings, but he should also be capable of summoning enough gravitas and authority into his voice to be taken seriously and assures that he can maintain order over the proceedings in the courtroom. So it needs to be SLIGHTLY lighthearted and goofy, but also completely capable of taking the reins of authority and sincerity when necessary.

  • (Firm and officially)"The court is now in session for the trial of Ms. Maya Fey. Mr. Edgeworth. Please give the court your opening statement."

Phoenix Wright's mentor and Maya Fey's older sister. She is a competent and successful defense lawyer of significant renown who taught Wright the most crucial skills that he himself goes on to use to significant effect. Mia is intelligent, supportive, and constantly kind to most of the people she interacts with. However, she's not above some fairly solid snark here and there and on a few special occasions where she comes to ensure that the punishments of justice are served to those that deserve it: she can be incredibly intimidating and forceful.


Mia's voice is clear, enunciated, and confident- capable of commanding respect with relative ease, but she talks in such a way that she comes across as warm, kind, and relatable most of the time rather than imposing or demeaning.

  • (Proud- her understudy just won his first court case so she's providing words of support and imparting her own dearly held beliefs)
    "Wright? I hope you see the importance of evidence now. Also, hopefully you realize, things change depending on how you look at them. People, too. We never really know if our clients are guilty or innocent. All we can do is believe in them. And in order to believe in them, you have to believe in yourself."

  • (Noticing someone yelling off in the distance)
    "... Isn't that your client screaming over there? (Getting weirded out as she listens to the yelling) It sounds like he wants to die..."

  • (Phoenix answers the first and most basic question the Judge can ask him incorrectly- she's suddenly sort of embarrassed, very concerned, and somewhat worried what staying and watching this case could do to her reputation and sanity. Said as if making an obvious bad/untrue excuse)"Wrong, Wright. Look, I have to leave. I have to go home. I'm... I'm expecting a delivery."

She's also less emotionally variable from moment-to-moment and spends more than five minutes at a time in any given emotional state unlike Maya who can fly all over the board in less than two.

Chief Gant typically speaks in such a way that is initially friendly/endearing/warm, but can suddenly turn strict or even cold at the slightest notice. There's a certain level of "two-faced-ness" that I'm looking for in this role as Gant is hiding plenty of secrets and none of it's good. 


Side note: whenever Gant speaks I get the impression that he has some sort of accent, perhaps along the line of an older Irish cop.

He's somewhat smug and overconfident despite lacking any real skill to warrant such an attitude- even rookie defense attorneys speaking out against him can often make him panicky and nervous.


Payne should basically sound like a middle aged loser- not like a full blown or even slightly stereotypical "nerd" inflection so many seem to imagine him as because I see him as more of a plucky, light-voiced, easily spooked divorced dad.

This is fairly straight forward: Marshall looks, acts, and talks like a cowboy so I'm looking for a well rounded southern drawl on all of his lines.

Yogi should sound like a crazy and demented old man for the majority of his performance except during a flashback to the elevator scene where he allegedly killed Gregory Edgeworth and the moment where he drops his deception on the witness stand. During former he is panicky and desperate, but during the latter he his cold and bitter showing no remorse for the actions he recently committed as he feels justified after being ostracized for fifteen years.

Mike Meekins is a young, danger prone, overly enthusiastic, loud, pathetic, and possibly emotionally unstable police patrolman. Meekins is a stickler for rules and protocol and always carries himself in a straight-laced way, but the image of a consummate professional never lasts long as he tends to screech whatever he's saying at incredible volumes- occasionally through the assistance of a megaphone for no adequate reason (NOTE: if you want to add a megaphone effect to any of the audition lines you may do so, but in the final project I will handle editing effects such as that).


Meekins voice should clearly mirror his scrappy-yet-uptight appearance and he should completely cringe or panic when facing scrutiny from just about anyone.

  • Sorry... Looks like I'll be stuck in this pit until late tonight.

The victim of "Rise from the Ashes".


Just a down-to-Earth (NORMAL) guy. His only two lines showcase his desire to reopen an old investigation.

  • "Can you please reopen the investigation, Chief? We can't transfer the evidence out. There are too many questions left unanswered!"

  • "It's not too late. I'll hand this to Marshall!"

Looking for an animator to create a short title sequence animation, roughly 5 seconds or slightly more, based on the game's logo/title art.

Listed amount is a placeholder as I'm not familiar with animation rates and the like- it can be discussed.

You only need to provide samples of work in this vein- I'm not expecting unpaid samples or mock-ups.
